Notes:
A light wind, blowing slightly tail at launch however I managed to get off in a lull. I immediately caught a thermal and climbed out over launch height quite quickly. After playing around for 20 minutes or so I fell out of the back of a thermal and then got flushed. Flying out to the LZ there seemed to be lift all over the place.
